9 Days Out, Missouri Still Not Breaking

A SINGLE POINTSeparates John McCain and Barack Obama in the latest NBC News poll of Missouri***NBC's Chuck Todd on Missouri: "It usually is a trailing indicator of where the national polls are, and it's still a Republican state. A pinkie on the scale for the Republicans, not a big thing. But if you see a surge for Obama, five or six points nationally, then he's probably tied, or maybe even a little ahead in Missouri."***ALSO, Todd paints an electoral picture for Obama without THE BIG 3:If Obama wins Virginia, Colorado and Nevada . . . he does not need to win Pennsylvania, Ohio or Florida."That really makes it tough," Todd says.***"Everything seems too good," says Political Analyst Charlie Cook on Obama's chances.
